The FY2027 President's Budget requests $1.21B for Retired Pay, within Homeland Security's Retired Pay account. That is up 5.7% on the FY2026 figure of $1.15B, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $1,147.2M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $1,147.2M |
| FY2027 | request | $1,213.1M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Homeland Security discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Homeland Security's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
For retired pay, including the payment of obligations otherwise chargeable to lapsed appropriations for this purpose, payments under the Retired Serviceman's Family Protection and Survivor Benefits Plans, payment for career status bonuses, payment of continuation pay under section 356 of title 37, United States Code, concurrent receipts, combat-related special compensation, and payments for medical care of retired personnel and their Environmental Compliance and Restoration (EC&R) Project Backlog Impact The information presented below fulfills the directive in Senate Report 114-68 accompanying the FY 2016 Department of Homeland Security "The Coast Guard is directed to include in its annual budget justification a listing of the activities projected to be funded by the amount requested under this heading and an updated backlog report for Environmental Compliance and Restoration projects, with an explanation of how the amount requested will impact this documented backlog." The USCG's prioritized listing of projects eligible for EC&R funding is reflective of the USCG's review of current EC&R requirements and both completion and consolidation of projects. Estimated costs include restoration work to be accomplished in various stages (i.e., investigation work, site remediation work, and long-term management and to be executed across several years (e.g., long term management can potentially extend out to 30 years or more). The following table provides a detailed listing of potential future EC&R priority projects. The list is adjusted as new information from complete assessments and project risk prioritization becomes available. FY 2027 EC&R funding continues long-term monitoring (LTM), begins or continues investigation/remediation site work, and displays a commitment to ongoing identification, investigation, cleanup, and long-term management of contamination from hazardous substances and pollutants for USCG systems, buildings, structures, and assets.
